There were many heated exchanges between Indian and Australian players during this tour in 2020–21. Tim Paine, the former captain of Australia, even forewarned R Ashwin about short stuff being bowled at Indians on the bouncy Gabba pitch before the fourth and final Test. Australia used to proudly refer to the Gabba as their “Fortress” because they had not lost a Test match there in 32 years.
To win the match and the series, India’s Rishabh Pant-led batting unit chased down 328 just before Day 5’s stumps. With Pant scoring an unbeaten 89, the Gabba Fortress was breached. India won the series and returned home with a Title defence.
